NHL Notes

The Tampa Bay Lightning isn't going anywhere this season, and neither, apparently, is their star Marty St. Louis.

Tampa Bay general manager Steve Yzerman said unequivocally that St. Louis would not be traded before this week's trading deadline in an interview with ESPN.

“Marty St. Louis is not going to be traded,” Yzerman told ESPN.com on Friday. “He remains one of the best players in the league and an extremely important player to our team, both on and off the ice. We are a team in transition, we just made a coaching change, Marty is one of the leaders of the team, he is not going anywhere.”

VISNOVSKY EXTENSION

Defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky agreed to a two-year contract extension with the New York Islanders.

Visnovsky has nine points (three goals, six assists) in 22 games with the Islanders this season. He was acquired on June 22 from the Ducks for a second-round pick in the 2013 draft.

He had a career season with the Ducks in 2010-11 with 18 goals and had 50 assists.

DETROIT SIGN DEKEYSER

The Detroit Red Wings signed former Western Michigan defenseman Dan DeKeyser to a two-year contract.

The 23-year-old DeKeyser, from Clay Township, Mich., had two goals and 13 assists in 35 games this season for the Broncos and was selected the Central Collegiate Hockey Association's best defensive defenseman for the second consecutive year.
